Not yet. My local stores usually get plenty of the BS figures. I have not been disappointed yet.

Thanks; I haven't seen a release timeframe for it nor seen it online yet.

Has anyone seen the General Obi-wan Kenobi Walgreens exclusive while hunting Minimates?

If Toys R Us no longer exists, can I still be a Toys R Us kid?

It's the ant with the drum set isn't it?

Please say it's the and with the drum set.....

Terminator (?) and Lord of the Rings

Opening 1 week early!!!

The Agents having saved the day yet again complete their adventure.  Cut to commercial, where Coulson says as usual "Agents of Shield will return in a moment."  When they return, Coulson looks to the sky, the camera is looking down and we see all the Agents looking up in awe, and then determination.  Coulson looks back to the team, "Let's get to work."  The camera pans around to look up at the sky, where we see the giant ring from the Infinity trailer.

He'll be back when he's in a movie

I wasn't real crazy about this when I saw it either:

 

 

After watching it, it became my favorite part of the prequels. That's an admittedly low bar but still. 

 

That said, I know it's not just about the look.

These are stylized designs, but they really don't stray too far from the essential look of the characters.

These new TMNT designs are clearly based more upon the movie versions (from what I've seen in pics, I have not watched the movies, because ugh).  They stray too far from the original (comic or 1st cartoon) essential look of the characters for many people.  Unless your 1st turtle was a recent movie turtle, you aren't going to get excited.

Based on the complaints I've read, that would seem to be the case, yes. Personally, I go back to the comics, the ones that satire Frank Miller's Daredevil stories, so I'm nowhere near invested in the cartoons. Honestly I couldn't stand them but clearly there's a ton of vocal fans who grew up on that series and are understandably miffed.

I agree 100%.

... 1st generation fans. ...

I'll avoid an argument and assume you meant "1st generation CARTOON fans." 

Huh.  This is supposed to be the new designs:

Which is real?  Both are awful.

FWIW, according to CBR all the shows are returning

I'm saving Nightmare for a future supernatural poll. He'd make a great figure, and he's really made his way around the 616.

@funkguerilla you're speaking my language... a proper MTIO Annual 7 display has been on my wish list for a while. And with MiniMates, we're only a Champion figure shy of the roster.

Also a nightmare for a completionist to obtain every version of Eternity, if they are all unique.

Nifty.  But a Nightmare for a completionist?

and does capt. marvel have a different hair piece?

Zach, you should pitch to Costco.  Bundle the best-of sets, slip in a flyer on how to expand your collection ("Universe") with pics of other available and upcoming assortments

Well Joss Whedon declared Coulson still dead in the movies...so AoS's status as anything more than ABC's elaborate fanfiction is questionable. (Yeah, he tried to walk it back, but not really)

Disney owns it all.  Joss directed 1 movie and 1 episode (?).   So I think that if Disney says the movies and ABC shows share the same universe, then they are; and Joss is the writer of fan fiction outside of his 1 movie and 1 episode (?).

It never ends....

Depends on which type of bankruptcy you file for....the one they've filed for is not the "big clearance all stores closing fire sale" type.   Yet.

Great present to give yourself!  Post a pic?
